Dominique De Cooman's article insightfully compares Drupal and the Sagrada Família. Inspired by Dries Buytaert’s reference during the Driesnote at DrupalCon Barcelona, the analogy highlights Drupal's evolution as akin to Gaudí's monumental basilica, combining old and new architectural elements. Drupal, founded 25 years ago, reflects the same gradual, community-driven development seen in the Sagrada Família.

De Cooman delves into Drupal’s fine-grained, API-driven structure, likening it to the intricate detail of Gaudí's sculptures. The community’s contributions are compared to the private funding supporting Sagrada’s construction. De Cooman concludes by emphasizing Drupal’s upcoming transition to an open Digital Experience Platform (DXP), with Drupal CMS Version 1 arriving in January 2025. This transition is seen as the culmination of Drupal’s community effort, positioning it as a sustainable and open solution in contrast to commercial platforms.
